Onboarding illustrations — the decided direction

Governs: docs/design/dist/** — the onboarding illustration set and what it is for
Review trigger: Any illustration added or replaced here; the onboarding artwork
in issue #29 landing in the app
References, not shipping assets. Nothing in this folder goes in the APK. These are the decided direction for onboarding, drawn from
../BRAND_GUIDE.md§22's master prompt. The vectors that eventually ship are drawn from these.
Seven illustrations in a matched light/dark pair, named for the composables they
replace in
../../../core/designsystem/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/designsystem/art/Illustrations.kt:
| File stem | Onboarding step | Composable |
|---|---|---|
01_WelcomeIllustration |
1 Welcome | WelcomeIllustration |
02_LastPeriodIllustration |
2 Last period start | new |
03_PeriodEndIllustration |
3 Period end | new |
04_LearningIllustration |
4 Previous history | LearningIllustration |
05_PrivacyIllustration |
5 Privacy promise | PrivacyIllustration |
06_NotificationPrivacyIllustration |
6 Reminder privacy | new |
07_ForecastIllustration |
7 First forecast | new |
Each stem exists as Light/<stem>_light.webp and Dark/<stem>_dark.webp, at
identical dimensions per card, so a theme switch swaps the image without
moving the layout.
What these got right, and why it is worth not undoing
Each of these was a correction during review, and every one of them would be easy to reintroduce by regenerating carelessly:
- No text of any kind is painted into the pixels. The app renders all seven
titles and subtitles itself through
Heading(...)inOnboardingScreen.kt. Art carrying its own title prints every heading twice, cannot be translated, cannot scale with the user's font size, and is invisible to TalkBack. - No step-number badge.
LearningIllustrationis not only onboarding step 4 — it is also the Insights empty state, where a "4" means nothing. Baked numbers also freeze the running order, and this flow has already changed shape once. A step indicator, if wanted, belongs in live UI where TalkBack can read it. 07_Forecastshows a calendar and a cycle arc, and names no fields. An earlier draft drew a forecast panel listing Fertile window and Ovulation, which the real first-forecast screen deliberately does not show — on a fresh install it reports confidence Low and Today reads "Not enough history to estimate". A later draft named the correct fields but painted Confidence — Low permanently, which is wrong for anyone with a settled cycle. Naming nothing is the only version that cannot contradict the live forecast.- The dark set is a real dark composition, not the light one dimmed — the
midnight-plum ground
BRAND_GUIDE.md§22 specifies.
Still to do before anything ships
Tracked as #29, which stays open until the app renders these:
- Redraw as Compose vector paths behind the existing replaceable names, taking colour from theme tokens rather than shipping two raster sets.
- Add the light/dark preview pair per step, per
../README.md. - Reconcile step copy —
PRODUCT_PLAN.mdowns the screen wording.
EmptyStateIllustration, the Today "nothing logged yet" state, has no card here.
Onboarding would otherwise ship real art while Today keeps a placeholder visible
in the same session.
Format
WebP at the delivered resolution — 204 KB for all fourteen, against 3.4 MB as
PNG, and the same format ../../data/img/ uses for the marks
privacyllc.dev renders. The delivery .zip archives are deliberately not
tracked; see .gitignore.
